RADIATOR HANGER.

Application filed August 18, 1925.

The object of the invention is to provide a. simplified constructlon of radiator hanger comprising, in addltion to the structure shown and described in United States Let-' ters Patent No. 1,527,120, a lateral supporting means for the radiator capable of maintaining the latter spaced the proper distance from the wall; to make this lateral supporting means a part of the hanger and adjustable laterally to readily come between sections of the radiator; and to provide coil or section engaging means readily adjustable on the lateral support so that, when once positioned, the radiator may be readily secured. in the desired upright position.

With this object in view the invention consists in a construction and combination of parts of which a preferred embodiment is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a radiator hanger constructed in accordance with the invention, the supported radiator being indicated in dotted lines.

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view on the plane indicated bythe line 22 of Fig ure 1.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view on the plane indicated by the line 33 of Figure 1.

In this improved construction, the weight of the radiator 1 is supported by the hanger generally designated 2, the construction and operation of whichare clearly disclosed in United States Letters Patent No. 1,527,120. The radiator is maintained in upright position, however, by a cored distance post 3 formed at its rear end with an upturned tongue 4- engaging behind a depending lip 5 formed an integral part of an extension 6 of the base 7 of the hanger proper. When the base is attached to the wall by appropriate supporting means, such as an anchor bolt 8, the lip '5 defines a pocket which the.

tongue 4: enters, access being provided through a transverselyelongated opening 9 in the base, this opening being bounded by peripheral flange 10, the outer edge of which lies in the same plane as the outer face of the lip 5.

The lower or transverse portion of this flange constitutes a bearing edge for the transverse rib 11 formed ,as an integral part of the anchor post and extending tra nsversely across the under side of the latter.

Serial No. 50,973.

The anchor post is engaged with the base by having the heeled end passed throughthe opening 9 when the tongue 4 engages behind the lip 5, the lip 11 then bearing upon the outer edge of the transverse portion of the flange 10. The post is thus supported in a horizontal position and by virtue of the opening 9 being elongated transversely, may be moved laterally to properly position it to enter between the desired sections or coils of the radiator, as indicated at 1 and 2 in Figure 2.

At the outer end the post is eXteriorly threaded for the reception of a follower 12, the. threads providing for adjustment of the follower longitudinally of the post so that, when the slanting sides 14 engage the radiator sections, the radiator may be held upright. The follower thus determines the spacing of the radiator from the wall and to preclude its swinging outwardly, a clamping member 15 is provided, this clamping member being of rectangular shape in plan so that with the longer dimension upright, it may pass between the sections of the radiator, after which an angular turning of ninety degrees will position the longer dimension horizontally so that the lips 16 may be disposed in obstructing relation with the radiator section. The clamping member is carriedby a screw 17 telescoping the distance post and threadingly engaged with the latter, as indicated at 18. Tightening the screw will obviously bring the clamping member in engagement with the radiator sections and force them into engagement with the follower.

The invention having been described, what is claimed as new and usefulis: I

A radiator hanger comprising a lateral support consisting of a distance post provided at its outer end with radiator section engaging means, a base member having a pocket defined by a depending lip, the base member having transversely elongated opening directly below said lip, and a flange bounding the side and bottom edges of said opening, the distance post being insertible through said opening and having a tongue engaging behind said lip, and a transverse rib bearing on the edge of said flange.

In testimony whereof he afliXes his signature.
